I think so. And I think, you know, When I talked to one of the psychologists who works on the effort paradox about this, we got into talking about the meaning in life, which is a heavy topic, right? And so I was like, I don't know what meaning is. What does it mean to say that something is meaningful?

And he said, well, when you ask people whether an activity like having kids or going on a trip or something... They can't articulate what they mean by meaningful, but they can answer whether something was meaningful or not. And I think meaning is, it's a big word, it's a heavy word, and it's a very imprecise and hard to define word.

It's something that we get from undertaking adventures and explorations and opportunities to discover new things that we don't get necessarily from sitting on the sofa and watching a documentary about someone else going and having an adventure.

Yeah, it's, you know, the topic or the debate that has launched a thousand arguments in, you know, philosophy departments around the world. And I certainly can't answer what meaning is. But yeah, I can think back in my life and say, wow, that was a really, I'm glad I did that for reasons that I can't articulate. It felt really meaningful.

Yeah, those are two very different things, aren't they? And, you know, obviously meaning is about more than exploring. And so you can add in factors like purpose.

And, you know, I think people in the military feel a powerful sense of purpose too, but they're doing something hard and they know that it's not something that's, you know, it's not necessarily something fun, but it's something that is meaningful.

If I was to generalize, I would say no, I don't think people think about this a lot. Even when I started to dig into this literature and the science and ask people about it, There are some scientists in the world who are thinking very carefully about it, but most people, they say they're not analyzing their decisions.
